Marie Curie Fellowships
The Marie Curie Fellowships scheme has had massive
success, and has benefited from greater than expected budget increases
between successive Framework Programme. For FP7, the EC has build
upon the fellowship types available in FP6, although in some cases
there has been a shift in emphasis. For this reason, researchers
who applied in FP6 are strongly advised to read the relevant documentation
for FP7 to ensure that they are still eligible to submit an application/proposal
and that they fully understand the subtle changes that have been
made.
The Marie Curie Fellowships have been split into
5 headings, each of which aims to respond to specific problems
within particular areas of the European research community.
Initial training
of researchers
Activities under the Initial training of researchers heading specifically
aim to support and improve career development for researchers
at the earliest stages of their research careers. Typically, these
researchers are at doctoral or very early post-doctoral level,
and may be from either the public or private sector. Training
in this area aims to broaden both the scientific and transferable
skills of researcher, and might include training in technology
transfer and entrepreneurship.
